Next Weekend – James Atherton Road Race 

This Sunday see’s the second running of the James Atherton Road Race, promoted by Southampton University. The 2/3/4 category race has attracted a strong field, with many riders unfortunately having to be turned away. For many, the race is the start of the road racing season and they will be keen to test their legs on the undulating course.

The race will consist of 8 laps of the Owslebury circuit, and although there is not one particular climb on the circuit that is particularly hard, riders will clock up over 5500ft of climbing over the 100km race. It is a rouleur’s course, proved last year when a strong break broke clear in the closing laps, with Michael Cripps of the Army Cycling Union the eventual winner.

This year see’s strong entries from both local teams, including Portsmouth North End and VC St Raphael, as well as potential winners from the likes of Ride 24/7 and Danny Shane – Stork Racing. There are multiple riders on the start line that have already crossed the finish line in first place this season and this should make the racing even tougher.

All is set for Sunday, and despite the forecast seemingly predicting less fortunate weather than last year, we should be in for a great day of racing! The race will roll out from Owslebury at 11am, with the finish around 1.30pm.
